Target, an American retail corporation, is the latest major United States firm to restore the face-mask requirement for employees in parts of the U.S. with high COVID-19 infection rates especially linked to the highly contagious Delta variant, in step with new instructions from the nation’s health protection agency CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), as cases and hospitalizations are rising sharply across America.
On Monday, Minneapolis-based Target, the eighth-largest retailer in the U.S., said that starting 3rd August, it would require all workers in counties that the CDC says faces a high risk of transmission to use face masks. Moreover, having more than 1900 stores, the big-box retailer said it would continue suggesting that customers use masks in its locations; however, it stopped short of requiring masks.

In a notice posted on its website, Target said that they’d follow all local mandates, as they’ve throughout the epidemic, and continue to monitor instructions from the US CDC closely. They’ll also maintain all of their ‘health and safety protocols’ that include physical distancing and increased cleaning measures.

In an interview with “Face the Nation,” Dr. Fauci said that they’ve 0.1 billion vaccine-eligible people in the country but unfortunately, they’re not protected against coronavirus yet.
Fauci also said that they’ve got to get those Americans to change their minds, make it easy for vaccine-hesitant, convince them, get them inoculated because they‘re the ones who are propagating the outbreak.
Furthermore, workers at Florida’s Publix grocery will be required to use face masks beginning from Monday regardless of immunization status, according to the company’s last week’s declaration.
